Colorful Entrance Area

The artwork by graffiti artist Hagen Fisbeck in the entrance area of the Steinmühle now has some artistic company: colorful posts along the sidewalk in front of the Forum and a ceramic installation mounted on the Forum’s entrance wall. The posts are related to the current State Garden Show in Gießen. The commission to design the wall had been left by architect Oesterle in 2006, who had placed a seemingly functionless concrete block next to the Forum.

Both projects were developed over the past few months by the artist and art teacher Ms. Vielhaben, together with students in grades 5, 7, and 11. The ceramic works received active support from Ms. Schmitz, the director of the Pottery and Mosaic Club.
